I've got a little ceramic kilroy hanging over the edge of my gun cabinet. It's there right along with my Dad's WWII helmet, some AF hardhats I used to use, and bunch of caps identifying USAF, NASA, SAC, etc.

Stay well and safe, Pards! :FlagAm:

I still use that term for tall thin folks.

I’m tall and slim and when the nurse in my doctor’s office met me for the first time recently she said, “My, you’re a tall drink of water.”  I hadn’t heard that in eons, much less from someone in her late 30’s.

Heck, I wouldn't know what that is.

 

If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, around here they were known as curb feelers.
